Trevor Lanphear
Owner/Project Management
Married to wife Marina and still raising three out of four children…life is good. His fun hobbies include boating, hiking, reading and traveling when possible. Trevor oversees all aspects of the business and is on every project almost daily. With extensive hands on “wear the tools” experience of over 15 years and unlike many local builders, Trevor will often know more technically than the men performing the work. Add another 12 years of management, design and customer relations experience at the high-end custom home level, Trevor, along with the LBI Team have earned the respect and good reputation Lanphear Builders has had since incorporating in 2009. Honesty, integrity, quality, communication, efficiency, safety and pulling your own weight are expected and instilled on a daily basis.

Noel Tyrpak
Project Field Supervisor
Noel has had a love for carpentry and building from a very young age. His grandfather, a jack-of-all-trades, began to teach him about carpentry and the construction trades at the age of six. In his elementary school days, he remembers spending whole days in the summer watching and studying the construction of new homes around his neighborhood. This flourished into the pursuit of receiving an education in professional construction management. He has an Associate’s Degree in Carpentry and Construction Science, as well as a Bachelor’s of Science in Construction Management. The process and satisfaction of completing projects with excellence for homeowners is his daily drive. Along with a love of detailed carpentry and project finishes, he also loves being able to design homes and projects in-house for Lanphear Builders. He is proficient in Chief Architect home design software as well as AutoCad. When not working, Noel loves the enjoying the outdoors with his wife, Amanda, and daughter—hiking, fishing, hunting, farming, bike rides, etc. He also loves planning and taking his family on adventures—locally and abroad.
